Monitors.

[Muerto]

has just got of the horn with allan, and he says it wont be a problen as long as we at least buy 16 (he is willing to take a few (4 or 5) in stock) but the more we buy, the cheaper it gets.

_THOUGH_ if we are interested in buying we must decide in max 14 days (remember, it takes 2 months for the stuff to get here!!!) and he need to get some stuff for himself as well....

The chassis are coming in 7, 9 and 11 pinout, and he will gladly order some of those as well, the price for the cheap ones are 300DKK and the "expensive" ones is 400DKK (41€ and 54€)

and how much are the monitors again if we manage to get the required 16?

Answering my own question: On the guy's site the 21" is mentioned to have a A51ELD031XA10 tube. The 51 stands for 51 cm, and that's FINE for us !

André, you mean that these will fit in cabs like Pac-man, Ms. pac-man, Centipede and other classics?

Allan just wrote that we should minimum take 12 21", and the price for one monitor with the good chassis is 1249DKK (168€)

He also says that he will order 8 14" monitors (jcb, are you still in for 4??) price for each monitor with the good chassis is 999DKK (135€)

i have a couple of monitors out at the moment (pac, defender, ...) and will try to take some more measures at the weekend to see if we could make them fit.

Michael : 4 is too much for me (see my old messages), I need about 1 to 3 monitors in fact (14inch).
For the moment, I don't have enough information about the monitors in order to make decision (image quality is the most important parameter, see my previous messages about the chassis).

[Muerto]

ok, ill undestand, no worries

Well.......I can't guarantee anything. It's actually pretty strange. I just checked the CRT number on my brand new Kortek and it says A48. So that's 48 cm. in diagonal.
BUT, the tube on f.i. a Hantarex that I had around says A51, and I'm pretty sure the size of the holes for the bolts are equal on both. I have a feeling that somewhere in time, sizes started to be different while they really were not different.....

Since the CRT from Denmark is mentioned as A51 on his site (Michael could you confirm this) AND since the Hantarex also has a A51 you'd expect them to match, but it's very possible they don't match exactly. However, it should be possible to hack it in anyways right ?

[Muerto]

i give him a call tomorrow

[level42]

Sorry to keep nagging you Michael, but are those chassis for high- or low impedance yokes ? Or is it possible to choose.

[Muerto]

Just spoke to Allan and he says it´s low impedance yokes.

[Muerto]

Allan just asked if it was low resolution arcade monitor 15Khz you guys (level42) ment??

[falcon NL]

Any idea what a 19 would cost?

[Muerto]

... he can´t get 19"

[level42]

19" is no more. Current tubes are all 21" both ball and flat-screen.
